Chapter 381: The Beixiang Army will suffer the consequences
"stop!"
Broken Blade's jaw tightened, his gaze piercing through the King of Mobei. "Yuan, I had no idea that the King of Mobei, who was so beloved and supported by the court officials and the people of Beixiang, could be so brutal! Among those you killed, there might have been people from Beixiang!"
The King of Mobei smiled calmly, "General Yuan cares deeply about the people, and that hasn't changed over the years. I admire him. However, the greater good of the country comes first, and small sacrifices are inevitable. Moreover, these people are all villains who want to disrupt the balance between the two countries. They should be killed. Killing them will serve as a warning to others."
Looking at the furious man across from him, the King of Mobei spoke again, his words gentle yet cruel. "This border town has over 4,000 residents, all of whom have come from various countries. It's a mixed bag, and we don't know how many spies there are among them. But General Yuan, please rest assured. I have always valued the diplomatic relationship between our two countries, and I will show no mercy to those who attempt to cause rebellion. From now on, I will bring the spies I find here every day, and you will see them executed in person, to prove that I and Beixiang are completely selfless."
Duan Dao's hands were shaking, and he had to try his best to restrain himself and suppress the anger in his heart.
Yuan's army was furious and wanted to skin the King of Mobei alive.
Even the Beixiang Army was slightly disturbed by this statement.
"Beast! Son of a bitch! How could such a thing be reborn as a human?" The poisonous old man rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush out, but was held down by the people around him. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Everyone calls me an old poisonous man with a vicious heart and cruel hands, but I won't do such a thing to ordinary people! What kind of ability is it to massacre innocent people! When I get into trouble and fight, I always pick people who are stronger than me!"
Lu Neng was both the deputy general and the commander of a battalion. He had been hiding near these people for a long time, fearing that they would cause trouble if no one stopped them given their temper.
"Calm down, old Poison Master!" Lu Neng and the surrounding soldiers worked together to barely subdue the old man. It was not because his fighting power was not enough, but because he had to suppress the man without hurting him. Seven new recruits had already turned their heads and glared at them.
"This isn't like any ordinary fight. Two dynasties are involved, so every word and action can't go wrong. If not, given the general's temperament, he would have sacrificed Wenren Jing to the sword long ago. How could he tolerate so much talk!" Lu Neng wiped his face, his eyes filled with deep helplessness. "Military orders are as strong as a mountain, and military regulations are as hard as iron. Wenren Jing was right. The righteousness of the country comes first, so there are iron laws."
Every member of the Yuan family army is a brave man who kills the enemy fearlessly on the battlefield. They can and dare to fight, but they cannot act easily.
Because they need to consider the mountains and rivers behind them, as well as the millions of people in Daiyue.
With the word "soldier" on your head, you can no longer act on impulse.
"It's so fucking frustrating!" Du Buqin took off his hat and sat down, gasping for breath in anger.
Wenren Jing is bullying Duan Dao with his dog coins!
Lu Neng glanced at the soldiers around him whose eyes were red with anger but had to suppress their anger, and smiled bitterly.
Isn't it just frustrating?
"I have a way." Amidst the oppressive atmosphere, the girl's clear voice rang out softly, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
The friends' eyes lit up, "Tianbao, tell me what you have in mind!"
Tian Bao looked at Lu Neng, "Uncle Lu, compromise with Wen Renjing temporarily and ask them to give him three days. The Yuan family army will search the territory and hunt down the thief he wants to catch. After three days, we must give him an explanation."
Lü Neng's face changed slightly when he heard this. "No! Miss Su, the general will not agree to your plan, and the Yuan army will not hand you over. This is Beixiang's aimless move! We can't bear to see innocent people die in vain. We can find other ways to stop the King of Mobei, but handing you over in exchange for your lives is definitely not the way to do it!"
The girl raised her lips and smiled coldly, looking down at them with a gleaming disdain. "Who said we have to go out and exchange our lives for others'? Give me three days. Believe me, I will make the Beixiang Army pay the price."
"Uncle Lu, you're soldiers and must follow the iron-blooded law, but the eight of us aren't." Bai Yu said sternly to the still hesitant man, "Don't delay. Saving people is the most important thing. Uncle Broken Blade knows our abilities, and he'll agree."
Du Buqin's depression was completely wiped out. He stood up happily and kicked Lu Neng's butt, "Go away! The old man was crazy just now. He really thought he was a cook in the military camp! Hey, take off this clothes, old man, do whatever you want. I'm not a soldier! That's the right way!"
Lu Neng didn't know how to respond normally for a moment, but when he looked at the situation over there, he realized that saving people was indeed the most important thing.
If we go there now, we can still save a few more civilians from the butcher knife of the Beixiang Army!
He only believed these kids this time!
There was a breeze on the riverbank in spring, and the flags of the two armies were fluttering as they faced each other.
A lone man rushed out from the front of Yuan's army camp again, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the Beixiang army. They pointed their spears in that direction, ready to attack.
"General! I have something to say!" Lü Neng stopped five feet from the border. Any further would have been a threat to the King of Mobei's life, a challenge. "The Yuan army values the people and is unwilling to rashly start a war and harm innocent people! Now, the King of Mobei has mobilized troops to the border for a few petty thieves, pressing forward step by step! Beixiang is unkind, but we, the Great Yue, cannot be unjust! I have discussed this with the other generals, and both armies must take a step back! Within three days, the Yuan army will search the territory and arrest any thieves who may have infiltrated! We will give the King of Mobei an explanation in three days! Similarly, the King of Mobei, please be serious and careful when investigating the spies, and do not kill innocent people! How do you do it?"
Duan Dao knew without a doubt that this idea must have been thought up by Tian Bao.
"King Mobei, this is the greatest concession and the greatest sincerity from my Yuan army. Give me three days to make an explanation." The tension in his body faded, and Broken Blade regained his general's composure. A smile, half mocking and half sarcastic, even formed at the corner of his mouth. "If you agree, there will be no need for our two countries to go to war, and the border between the two countries will remain stable. If you don't... then today, it will be your Beixiang army that is deliberately provoking trouble! This reputation has not been built for years. King Mobei is a wise man, do you still insist on having your own way?"
Wen Renjing didn't respond immediately. The light in his deep eyes changed several times, and after a moment he laughed out loud, "Okay! Then it will be three days. I'm waiting for an explanation from General Yuan!"
"The Beixiang Army retreated twenty miles and set up camp!"
"The Yuan army sounded the horn and returned to camp!"
The commanders of both sides led their troops away.
The tension along the border also temporarily dissipated.
Wen Renjing's face was gloomy all the way as he rode his horse back to the camp.
Feiyun followed behind him with the same serious expression.
"The Dai Viet Army has made concessions. If we continue to press them, we will be truly unreasonable. Damn it! Your Majesty, we must be careful and vigilant for the next three days. Su Jiuni and the others will definitely not stay still!"
